Forward Deployed Engineer – Intern

Location: Dublin, Ireland, on‑site
Requirement: Degree in Maths, Engineering or Computer Science (completed or final year)

Whippy is an AI-powered communication platform that automates real business workflows across voice, SMS, chat, and APIs.

We integrate with telephony providers, CRMs, ATS platforms, and internal enterprise systems to power AI agents that handle inbound calls, qualification flows, onboarding processes, support queries, and operational tasks.

As a Forward Deployed Engineering Intern, you will work inside real enterprise deployments and ship production code that connects Whippy to customer systems.

You will operate at the intersection of APIs, telephony, databases, and AI workflows. This is not a research role and not a shadowing internship. You will build and debug real systems used by live customers.

This internship is designed as a pathway to a full-time Forward Deployed Engineer role.

• Build and extend API integrations with third‑party systems (CRM, ATS, telephony, internal tools)
